689624f037 libbpf: Deprecate bpf_objects_list
Add a flag to `enum libbpf_strict_mode' to disable the global
`bpf_objects_list', preventing race conditions when concurrent threads
call bpf_object__open() or bpf_object__close().

bpf_object__next() will return NULL if this option is set.

Callers may achieve the same workflow by tracking bpf_objects in
application code.

a77f879ba1 libbpf: Use func name when pinning programs with LIBBPF_STRICT_SEC_NAME
We can't use section name anymore because they are not unique
and pinning objects with multiple programs with the same
progtype/secname will fail.

dd94d45cf0 libbpf: Add opt-in strict BPF program section name handling logic
Implement strict ELF section name handling for BPF programs. It utilizes
`libbpf_set_strict_mode()` framework and adds new flag: LIBBPF_STRICT_SEC_NAME.

If this flag is set, libbpf will enforce exact section name matching for
a lot of program types that previously allowed just partial prefix
match. E.g., if previously SEC("xdp_whatever_i_want") was allowed, now
in strict mode only SEC("xdp") will be accepted, which makes SEC("")
definitions cleaner and more structured. SEC() now won't be used as yet
another way to uniquely encode BPF program identifier (for that
C function name is better and is guaranteed to be unique within
bpf_object). Now SEC() is strictly BPF program type and, depending on
program type, extra load/attach parameter specification.

Libbpf completely supports multiple BPF programs in the same ELF
section, so multiple BPF programs of the same type/specification easily
co-exist together within the same bpf_object scope.

Additionally, a new (for now internal) convention is introduced: section
name that can be a stand-alone exact BPF program type specificator, but
also could have extra parameters after '/' delimiter. An example of such
section is "struct_ops", which can be specified by itself, but also
allows to specify the intended operation to be attached to, e.g.,
"struct_ops/dctcp_init". Note, that "struct_ops_some_op" is not allowed.
Such section definition is specified as "struct_ops+".

This change is part of libbpf 1.0 effort ([0], [1]).

f12b654327 libbpf: Streamline error reporting for low-level APIs
Ensure that low-level APIs behave uniformly across the libbpf as follows:
  - in case of an error, errno is always set to the correct error code;
  - when libbpf 1.0 mode is enabled with LIBBPF_STRICT_DIRECT_ERRS option to
    libbpf_set_strict_mode(), return -Exxx error value directly, instead of -1;
  - by default, until libbpf 1.0 is released, keep returning -1 directly.

More context, justification, and discussion can be found in "Libbpf: the road
to v1.0" document ([0]).

5981881d21 libbpf: Add libbpf_set_strict_mode() API to turn on libbpf 1.0 behaviors
Add libbpf_set_strict_mode() API that allows application to simulate libbpf
1.0 breaking changes before libbpf 1.0 is released. This will help users
migrate gradually and with confidence.

For now only ALL or NONE options are available, subsequent patches will add
more flags. This patch is preliminary for selftests/bpf changes.
